If I Can't Have You

I loved this storyline. It was a great book - I stayed home all afternoon to read it - I couldn't put it down.

This is another winner from Patti. She has a brilliant talent for drawing you into her stories and holds you right till the end.Well done Patti.

In 1938, Trevor Montgomery mysteriously disapeared, never to be seen in person or on the silver screen again. Most people back then assumed that he killed fellow actress Carole Sinclair and simply vanished to avoid the rap. Though rumors persisited that he was seen in the Sparta estate swimming pool just before his fianl disappearance. In 1998, Adriana Howard is the biggest fan of Trevor today. She collects any memorabilla about the star. To her friends, Adriana is obsessed with Trevor. However, everything abruptly chnages when a man, insisting that he is the real Trevor, appears in Adriana's bedroom. He looks and acts just like the star, but sixty years should have at least aged him, if he was even alive. Still, Adriana finds the real thing more interesting than the image and soon the couple begin to fall in love. However, Trevor feels strongly that he must learn if he actually killed Carole and where has he been for almost six decades before he can see if a Pre baby boomer can find love with a generation X woman. IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU is an original and fascinatingtime travel romance that will remind readers of the movie, TIME AFTER TIME. The charcaters are very interesting, especially Adriana, who allows her obsession of a dream to rule her life before her dream comes true. This book in the hands of anyone but the great Patti Berg would be a sure failure, but with the talent of Ms. Berg, the novel turns into a timely feast for fans of great romace Harriet Klausner
